Brooklyn Rider has carved a singular space in the world of string quartets over the last 15-plus years with their gripping performance style and unquenchable appetite for musical adventure. Defining the string quartet as a medium with deep historic roots and endless possibility for invention, they find equal inspiration in musical languages ranging from late Beethoven to Persian classical music to American roots music to the endlessly varied voices of living composers.
Claiming no allegiance to either end of the historical spectrum, Brooklyn Rider most comfortably operates within the long arc of the tradition, seeking to illuminate works of the past with fresh insight while coaxing the malleable genre into the future through an inclusive programming vision, deep-rooted collaborations with a wide range of global tradition bearers, and the creation of thoughtful and relevant frames for commissioning projects.
They will present four brand new string quartets inspired by "Der Blaue Reiter," a pre-World War I era collective led by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, Schoenberg's tonality-shattering String Quartet No. 2 with the mesmerizing American soprano Ariadne Greif, as well as a new song cycle written by Colin Jacobsen, the violinist of quartet and The Knights ensemble.
